As we brace ourselves for yet another international break, we turn to Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures and delve into the data in our first members article of the week. We assess Southampton’s chief creator and main frontman as the points start to dry up, cast an eye over Chelsea’s penalty box predator, Man City’s talismanic Argentine and Newcastle’s recent defensive displays as the clean sheets keep coming for Alan Pardew’s men.

    where do people go for accurate price change info?

    Will ADM drop tonight? Austin going up?

    1. Dynamic

      Austin will go up.

      FPL Statistics accurate for price rises.

    Worth it???

    Tadic/Naismith -> Siggy/Austin (-4)

    1. FPL_DON

      Yeah do it

    2FT

    Tadic + Pelle > Hazard + Austin

    Do it for the next round of games or keep Saints players @ Villa?

    Most of the Arsenal fans who give interviews are clowns. Really make them look like a small club. Embarrassing, and this Robbie fella who presents it isn't any better either.

    The idea of interviewing fans after games is good, but these guys can't conduct themselves properly.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo

      Lol at the kid with the Arsenal tracksuit, hat, headphones and bottle

      ARE YOU MORE COMMITTED THAN ME

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I posted this earlier

      Just seen some ridiculous comments on the Gooners World fan forum where at least a couple of people are saying that they would be glad if it was reported that Wenger has died because that's the only way they can get rid of him!

      I frequent a United forum and never saw this sort of thing re Moyes.

    93. Is it a rediculously high score or just a bit above the beverage around here?

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      High.

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ridiculously good beverage

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Beverage to replace the word average in here? I like it.

  8. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Am struggling to think of ways to get Baines into my team- now thinking maybe shipping ADM for Chadli could be the way to do it. Thoughts? Too knee-jerky?

  9. MJ6987
    • 15 Years

    @Lucy

    You asked on the last article what my "new team" is...

    Krulliott
    Baines Chambers Dummett Wisdom Yun
    Sanchez AdM Fabregas Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Sakho

    0.3

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously good!

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. Funny that my old team did pretty much the same overall though even though I still wouldn't have been happy with that team!

        Played my WC mainly to fit in two players - Sanchez and Baines whilst not really weakening the rest of my squad - which I would never have been able to do otherwise. Whether or not this is a good use of the wildcard time will tell.

      What is your TV?

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        103.7 including the 0.3 bank

  10. krzys
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Would you wildcard to get Aguero in? Can't get him without -8.

    1. A.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Current strike force?

      1. krzys
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Austin Pelle Costa

        1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Pelle for one more week should be ok (I hope), do it in stages imo. Or bite bullet and take the hit if you can't wait.

          1. krzys
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks.

        2. A.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Its tough to stay without him. I take it you're not considering Costa to Aguero?

          1. krzys
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            No. Pelle to Aguero.

    2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm in same position. Planning to save WC, -4 now and wait another week for Aguero

    3. hibster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      better to take a -8 than use the wildcard

  11. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Costa or Hazard?

    Costa, seems so obvious right?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa, definitely.

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Haz

    4. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Comparison tool = Hazard

  12. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Just checking...

    Eriksen + Pelle > Sanchez + Austin is a no brainer, right?

    1. Dynamic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Thanks 🙂

  13. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Forster
    Baines Bertrand Dumnett (wisdom moore)
    Adm Haz Downing Tadic (Boyd)
    Kun Costa Welbz

    1ft, 0 bank

    Worried abour lack of Sanchez. His price keeps getting up and all ML rivals have him. Suggestion lads?

    A Adm, Welb to Sanchez, Austin (-4)
    B Adm, Bertrand to Sanchez, cheapo (-4)
    C save

  14. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    So my pre-WC team scored 83(-8) and my WC team scored 69 🙄 .. i did it cause i dint want to save the 8 points and get Adm + Sakho in apart from that. sigh

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      *wanted to save the 8 points. What a waste

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      also wanted to increase my ridiculously low TV but i messed it up and now have a falling Adm in.. gotta laugh really 😆

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Waste a WC for a -8, oh dear...

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        a -8 and my urge to get Adm and Sakho in.. made 9 changes in total in the end. though a lot of em were luxury transfers. Atleast i got rid of my Soton players without gettin burnt badly

    4. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn't have to pay off in one week (same argument for hits too). Your move could easily come out in front next week.

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott is not the poor man's alternative to Sanchez as some were suggesting earlier. He is a massive FPL player when fit and a genuine alternative (and diff) Can't wait to get him.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looked well off the pace today.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Best to get Sanchez now though and downgrade once Walcott hits full flow.

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I think we need to see how the side lines up when both are played before we decide this

  16. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Right I was fairly sure on the transfer suggested below but I'm having second thoughts:

    Team:
    Forster Heaton
    Clyne Baines Chambers Naylor Hutton
    Boyd Fabregas ADM Sanchez Siggy
    Aguero Pelle Sakho

    What would you do with this lot?

    0.4ITB, 1 FT

    Pelle and ADM/Cesc -> Chadli and Costa -4?
    Save FT?
    Got an alternative for getting Costa in?

    I'm sure you guys can help me!

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'd take the hit with ADM out

      1. Screaming Midget
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        With 2 home games vs Hull and Stoke coming up? And Arsenal next aren't exactly strong in defence.

        1. The Iron Tulip
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yersterday showed that Man U can barley beat teams near the bottom. If their form isn't up to much,, fixtures are irrelevant

  17. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Which option would you rather have?

    A) Eriksen, Welbeck (Wanyama on the bench)
    B) Sanchez, Wanyama (Zamora on the bench) -4 points

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Come on?

  18. The EJJ
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Krul
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, NTaylor, Moore
    Sanchez, Hazard, ADM, Siggy, Marney
    Costa, Pelle, Berahino

    1ft. 0.5m in bank.

    Do I need Aguero? If so, how should I get him, frustratingly 0.1m off Haz -> Downing and Pelle -> Kun.

    1. Ed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes you need Aguero. Not to sure the best way to go about it though. Pelle should definitely be involved

    2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Berahino > Austin could give you the money if you want to take the hit

      1. The EJJ
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, only way I can do it is to take a -8 :S cheers for the responses guys!

    3. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Haz to Oscar frees up some?

  19. Ed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Aside from FPL points, just got to say what an absolute machine Matic is. A class above this year, and is one of the top performers every game. Pity a player like that will never be a fantasy asset.

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not in FPL, but would be an asset in McDonalds games

    2. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Agree

      Plus it would be good if in future DM was a proper position. Not sure how u can say magic and hazard play same position...

    3. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed, being an Arsenal fan it makes me almost cry that these players are out there and choose to stick with Arteta and his walking stick.

      Having said that Chelsea did sell him and spent a ton getting him back so they got it wrong initially!

      1. Ed
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        True, although he may have not developed into the player he is if he hadn't left

  20. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    ADM > Chadli

    Yes or no? Do it now or wait?

    1. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same dilemma as myself. Need to fund Baines.

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yep the funds will help with getting me
        Baines 🙂

    3. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Why are people selling Di Maria?

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Bigger returns for lower prices! Plus it helps me find baines in

      2. kiwi_pool
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Been pushed wide, not as effective.

    4. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No way

  21. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    This whole season is gonna be spent trying to fit in
    4 of
    Adm Sanchez Siggy Chadli Fabs/Hazard/Oscar Downing Wally Sterling

    And the second you get 4 you want the other 4..
    I admit i've fallen to points chasing 🙁

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I really think 352 may come to the fore.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        But then you have Sakho and Austin offering great value upfront. unless you use em as your cheapest attacker

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I currently have Sakho and Austin. Tempted to bring Sterling back in if he drops a couple more and play the matchup game.

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Sterling for Boyd that is.

      2. Guidinho
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        This is exactly what I have planned. Going Sanchez/Fabs/Haz/ADM/Chadli, I know some people love Costa/Pelle etc but I think the lack of overall involvement hinders their BPS.

    2. A.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      And its often best to just stick with what you have, and as soon as you jump ship from one who hasnt been performing it will come back to bite you

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        agreed.. was doing that till last week and then went a bit mad. going to go back to just sticking. Siggy for Oscar i may do next week though. he's the one guy i cant live without.. shifted him out since i was on WC and thought i was being smart 🙂

  22. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who do I get in for Eriksen? Got 8.2 to spend.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy or Downing

      1. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Already have Siggy, so it'd have to be Downing then?

        You wouldn't consider Chadli?

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Don't trust Chadli. But admittedly he's pissing me off just like Ramsey did last season so who knows. Downing was class yesterday though. Could've easily been a haul if not for Guzan.

        2. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Tottenham are playing really poorly.. Would not be surprised to see Chadli start blankin soon enough

          1. Guidinho
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Alternatively if he can score when they are playing badly what would happen if they started playing well? Not inconceivable as Newcastle are demonstrating.

  23. mouldy_uk
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    (a) Chadli & Perez
    or
    (b) Downing & Austin

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      b

  24. FPL Mike the Knight
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Is Fabregas too expensive for a assist a week?

    Need to lose one of Sanchez, Di Maria, Fabregas to enable Pelle -> Aguero

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same boat. Was dead set on ADM going but now not so sure.

    2. krzys
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Problem is you could only afford a mid like Larsson or Brunt.

      1. FPL Mike the Knight
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        luckily I already have Chadli and Siggy, would leave me with potentially ADM, Sanchez, Chadli, Siggy, 5.5m

    3. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Depends. People here seem to be obsessed with Costa despite a tendency to get a single goal with limited BPS. Fabs is a good for an assist, clean sheet point and a bigger bonus points magnet. Personally I think players like Fabs go underrated, whilst I would not give him the armband its players like him who save your gw from being shite to keeping with the average.

  25. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Sooooooo........we are all selling ADM now?

    Dropping in price tonight.....what gives?

    1. The Shadow
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      People are probably selling now to avoid the drop. Vicious cycle.

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not the first time I've lost value on a perfectly good option this year. Not sweating it.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping.

  26. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    who is the best cheap goalkeeper with good run of fixtures coming up?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not exactly cheap.. but Fabianksi! Krul got a bad run coming up and WBA/Villa not looking so tight

    2. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Flappyhandski or Adrien.

  27. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Raising money for Aguero, who should I take out, ADM (price drop, form) or Cesc (injury)? Most likely bringing in Downing or maybe Chadli. Any advice?

  28. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I could WC this

    Krul Guzan
    Baines Clyne Hutton Yun Duff
    Sanchez Walcott Fabregas Siggy Downing
    Kun Costa cheapo

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      That's Wisdom not Hutton

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
